Stowaway Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Loaded fine but the daylight savings setting appears to be disabled. My ISY 99ir/pro immediately lost an hour when started up. I have tried to click and unclick the daylight savings box with no impact. Quote
Stowaway Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Time looks OK here in EST. I just did another sync with the ntp and it is okay now. I am on east coast DST time as well. I guess this was just related to the installation but not actual problem (just needed to run another time sync)! Quote
Sub-Routine Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Thank you! No problem with DST here in Central time. Stowaway, didn't you have that with 1.6.5? Rand Quote

Sub-Routine Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 My apologies. That was d_l, Dave. I knew I saw it once. Rand Quote
bpwwer Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 On my ISY26: Something when wrong when I updated. I downloaded the zip file and manually updated. Now the box is dead (well not accessible via the ethernet port). I've tried power cycling it and it still doesn't come back. When I say not accessible, I mean it's not sending the UPNP broadcasts and it's not responding on the IP address previously used. I don't have physical access to the box right now so I can't see the lights. When I do get back home, is there anything I should check before trying to factory reset it? Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Hi bpwwer, I am so very sorry to hear this. Please do not factory reset ... what we need to know is the status of the LEDs on top of ISY. Again, I am so very sorry ... With kind regards, Michel On my ISY26: Something when wrong when I updated.

upstatemike Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Any estimate on when IES will be ready to support this release? Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Hello upstatemike, IES was waiting for our finished Web Services kit ... so I am hoping that we'll see something quite soon. With kind regards, Michel Any estimate on when IES will be ready to support this release? Quote
bpwwer Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Hi bpwwer, I am so very sorry to hear this. Please do not factory reset ... what we need to know is the status of the LEDs on top of ISY. Both MEM and ERR are flashing on 2 seconds off 3 seconds. The link light on the ethernet port is lit. After a power cycle, all the lights flash and it seems like it is communication with the PLM because it's light and other insteon devcices' lights are flashing too. This happens for about 1 minute and then it goes back to flashing the mem/err lights as above. It doesn't appear to have requested an address from the DHCP server at any point. Ahh, connection up the serial port provides a bit more info. it's displaying "network cable disconnected or DHCP server error" over and over. Resetting the router/dhcp server makes no difference Manually configuring the network on the ISY makes no difference Replacing the network cable makes no difference. Switching to a different port on the router makes no difference. Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Bob, Unfortunately, it seems that ISY's network PHY is not working. Please verify your shipping address to support@universal-devices.com and another unit shall be sent to you immediately.

Michel Kohanim Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Bob, Would you happen to have an extra PLM? What happens if you leave your PLM unplugged (you will get the RX light solid on but everything else non INSTEON related should work).

bpwwer Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I do have an extra PLM, but I won't be able to unplug the current one until tonight. However, it is still mostly working. I am able to control devices via the web interface and bring up the admin console, as long as I don't re-boot it. If I do, then I'll have to power it down for a couple of hours before I can use it again. As soon as I do anything that requires a re-boot (switch back to using DHCP, firmware update, etc.) it thinks the cable is unplugged and I have to power it off for a while. I think this is consistent with a problem I've had with this box for a while. For the past few firmware updates, I've had to power cycle it to get it working. It would do the firmware update, reboot, and then it would not be accessible until I power cycled it. It's just getting worse now. Hi Bob, Would you happen to have an extra PLM?

Michel Kohanim Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 bpwwer, Ok. Thanks so very much for the update. It might be the case and hopefully the new one will solve all of these issues.

MikeB Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 We are happy to announce the availability of version 1.2.1 BETA of our NK8 and NK8-PC software, which is compatible with this firmware release.

Candide Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I am unable to upgrade to 2.6.6 (from 2.6.4). I get the "upgrade failed" message about incompatible file type. This also happens when I open admin console with the suggested link: http://www.universal-devices.com/27 I cleared my Java cache and unloaded my AV program - just to be sure. Any suggestions or other actions I can try? Quote
Candide Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I had downloaded the file with a different name - Insteon.2.6.5.Zip. The upgrade worked after I renamed it back to just Insteon.zip. Quote

franky Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 2.6.6 doesn't seem to allow for more than 4 mutually exclusive buttons on a KeypadLinc 8-button dimmer. The GUI lets me add all 8, but there's strange behavior: * Pressing any of the first 4 turns off all other 7 buttons, so these 4 seem to work correctly * But, pressing any of the last 4 just act as normal toggle buttons and don't turn off any other buttons Looks like it's not sending all of the commands correctly. I've done this over 20 times with the exact same behavior, so it's not a connection issue. I've tried deleteing all programs in the GUI, resetting the keypad to it's factory defaults, forcing a device reset from the GUI, but nothing did the trick. Any ideas? Is this a known bug with this version? Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 Hi franky, ISY allows for 4 mutually exclusive groups simply because when you have 8 buttons, there are at the most 4 ways that you can group them together. In short, buttons in the same group are mutually exclusive from one another: if you turn one on, the others will turn off and vice versa. I think you've put all your buttons in the same group and thus what you are witnessing.

franky Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Actually, you can cross link the 8-key KeypadLinc buttons manually so that all 8 buttons are mutually exclusive from eachother (although it will take you an hour of pushing and holding the buttons for 10 seconds each)...meaning that at any given point, only one button can be lit up. The ISY software has the limitation of only allowing 4 buttons to be mutually exclusive to each other at a time. This is what I was asking. Is there a way to make the ISY setup the KeypadLinc to make all 8 buttons mutually exclusive to each other so that pushing any of the 8 buttons turns off the other 7?
